there are no questions like that about hagel. he's just a nominee republicans do not like personally and do not agree with philosophically. he didn't exactly dazzle everybody at his confirmation hearing. but that is not grounds to derail a nomination. yet the gop is signaling it will make him come up with 60 votes. in the end there probably will be 60 votes for hagel, but this has never happened before. it could be happening more in the future after this. before they go too far down this road, republicans really might want to ask themselves what happens the next time one of their own is in the white house and finds himself or herself facing a democratic senate? frivolous filibustering will probably feel a lot different to them then. okay. that does it for "the cycle." martin bashir, take it away. >> i'm sure it will. thanks, steve. good afternoon. it's wednesday, february 13th. and the president has taken his message straight to the american people while marco rubio has taken his shirt to the dry cleaners. ♪ >> i'm prepared to
